THE QUEEN,s JUBILEE.
Thirty Thousand Children Make
Merry i'm Hyde Park-Rich and Cost

MERRY In Hyde Park-R1ch and Cost
ly Gifts Presented to Her Majesty.
LONDON, June cat the children's fete
in honor of the Queens jubilee held to-day
in Hyde Park thirty thousand little ones
were present. They were arrayed on the
great lawn and made pretty picture. The
Prince and Princess of Wales and their sons
and daughters accompanied by a number of
their royal guests, visited the park during
the fete. The children at once freed them
selves from restraint, broke the rope barriers
and rushed pelI nell toward the visitsrs and
packed themselves in solid groups around
them. All etiquette vanished and the princes
and princesses, who seemed delighted at their
reception, mixed among the children with
perfect freedom and pleasure. All at once
the children began to sing "God Bless the
Prince of Wales" They sang in every key,
but in their earnestness and enthusiasm
made up for the lack of harmony. The visi-
tors then made their way to the platform
erected for their accommodation. The Queen
soon arrived. When it YVES announced that
she was coming the children massed them
selves along both sides of the road over where
her majesty's carriage passed and moved
with it toward the stand, the as-
sembled bands playing the national
anthem which the children sang
with grand effect. The Queen assembled the
platform while the music was proceeding.
At its conclusion she presented a memorial
up to little girl who had been selected to
represent the children. When the Queen
left the whole sssemblage sang ''Rule Britain
MA" Mrs. Gladstone, Lord Derby end Lord
Spencer were present
